So if you could be any movie bad guy who would you be?
For me, I'd go with Ming the Merciless. Rather than getting caught up in the minute details of running a empire, he is instead clearly having a blast and enjoying the power. Yeah, he might get defeated in the end but up until that point he is revelling in his role.
Gosh...I dunno... :wink:

I'll pick Conal Cochran from HALLOWEEN III. I mean, that guy was targetting especifically every children around, what's more evil than that? His motives are clear and not just the usual craving for power. Simply awesome.

Ming certainly gets the point.

I wanted to go with Heath Ledger's Joker, but that's still a bit cliché these days. So I'll go with my other favorite movie villain from the past 30-something years or so, Clarence Boddicker...

Hmmm . . . I'll need to think about this, but a couple that come to mind are:

Not to get political, but Trump was in a movie, it happened in his hotel, and it was *his* hotel staff that was ganging up on poor Kevin in the movie. Rather villainous, if you ask me. :teddyr:

Madame Lee from "Death Machines" (1976)
Her lisp is endearing... plus she orders one of the Death "machines" to kill an opponent by bulldozer.

As a massive fan of bad guys since I was a kid, it was either to do with the fact that I felt sorry for them cause they never got a break, rooting for the underdog, or because where I grew up was a shthole and law and order was frowned upon :twirl:
I'll have to 2nd Hans Gruber and Clarence Boddicker and add in Charlie Tibbs & Wes (Wes from Mad Max 2)
Imagine Clarence Boddicker working for Hans, no hero would be safe.
Every time this question comes up I have to chip in with... Cabman Gray (Karloff in THE BODY SNATCHER)
